In a heated and widely discussed interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Mark Epstein, the younger brother of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, delivered a series of jaw-dropping statements when pressed on the official ruling that his brother died by suicide in 2019.
The exchange, which aired in late February 2026 (with clips going viral shortly after), saw Piers Morgan repeatedly challenge Mark Epstein on the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York on August 10, 2019. The official autopsy concluded suicide by hanging, a finding supported by the New York City medical examiner and the Justice Department's inspector general report. Mark Epstein, however, has long maintained that the evidence points elsewhere.
Key moments from the tense back-and-forth:
When Morgan asked directly, “Do you believe your brother killed himself?” Mark Epstein replied without hesitation:
“No, I do not believe it was suicide. I’ve never believed it was suicide. I’ve said from day one that the evidence does not support that conclusion.”
He went on to list several points he claims cast doubt on the official narrative:
The two cameras directly outside Epstein’s cell were “malfunctioning” that night.
The guards assigned to check on him every 30 minutes were asleep and falsified logs.
Epstein had multiple fractures in his neck (including the hyoid bone), which Mark claims forensic pathologists he consulted said are “far more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging,” especially for someone of Epstein’s age and build.
Epstein had reportedly told people close to him that he was not suicidal and feared for his life.
He was taken off suicide watch just days after an earlier alleged attempt (which Mark also questions).
When Morgan pushed back, citing the multiple investigations that upheld the suicide finding, Mark Epstein responded sharply:
“Investigations that refuse to look at all the evidence aren’t investigations — they’re cover-ups. If this was your brother, would you accept this story? Broken cameras, sleeping guards, missing footage, contradictory medical opinions — and everyone just shrugs?”
The interview grew increasingly confrontational as Morgan accused Mark of promoting conspiracy theories without definitive proof. Mark fired back:
“I’m not pushing a theory — I’m pointing to facts the government refuses to explain. If it walks like a cover-up, talks like a cover-up, and smells like a cover-up… you do the math.”
Mark also addressed long-standing speculation about his brother’s powerful connections, stating:
“My brother knew things about powerful people. A lot of powerful people. When someone with that much dirt on that many elites ends up dead in a high-security jail with every safeguard failing at once — people are allowed to ask questions.”
The Piers Morgan interview has reignited online debate, with clips amassing millions of views across platforms. Supporters of Mark Epstein praised his composure and willingness to challenge the official account, while critics accused him of selectively emphasizing inconsistencies while ignoring the broader context (including Jeffrey Epstein’s known mental state and prior apparent suicide attempt).
Mark Epstein has previously filed lawsuits demanding access to additional records, including full autopsy photos, complete guard logs, and unredacted investigative files. Those legal efforts remain ongoing.
The interview ends with Piers Morgan asking one final question: “If it wasn’t suicide, who do you think killed your brother?” Mark Epstein paused, looked directly into the camera, and said:
“I don’t know who. But I know why. He knew too much.”
No new official investigation has been launched into Epstein’s death since the 2023 Justice Department inspector general report reaffirmed the suicide conclusion. Mark Epstein continues to insist the case is far from closed.
